How hard is it to remove permanent suture on one side and convert to vertical lift in order to "lock" aerola and preventing spreading once that permanent suture is out. What will I look like with one vertical side and one benelli side? Will some scar excision be possible without implant removal? Do you think I could have a favorable result after this? Average charge for this type revision? Will removing permanent suture cause any implant damage/ risk. I have silicone implants- 450 cc
Answer: Tough situation It's hard to answer without a pic, but the process doesn't need to be that involved. As mentioned before, conversion to a vertical scar won't necessarily insure that the areolae won't spread. You will have an inherent asymmetry with 2 different scars and you may get 2 different shapes. Proceed with caution! See your original surgeon and then get a couple of other in person consults with quality plastic surgeons. Good luck.

Answer: Removal of permanent areola suture Removal of the permanent areola suture is not difficult and can be done in the office under local anesthesia in most cases. Revision of the areola size, shape, and position will require a formal procedure. What will be involved and it's possible outcome will depend on your current tissues as well as your goal. An in depth discussion and evaluation will be needed to determine what procedures would suit you best.All the best,Dr. Remus Repta
